Adamo Parfums Tawakul Review: Warm Spicy Oud Elegance

A bold unisex blend of amaretto, oud, and tonka bean for cold-weather nights.

By Vivir · · Updated
Adamo Parfums, a relatively young niche house, has quickly gained attention for its bold, opulent creations. Their latest release, Tawakul, launched in 2025, is a unisex Eau de Parfum that marries the warmth of amaretto with the smoky depth of oud. Perfumer Vincent Ricord has crafted a scent that feels both decadent and grounded, perfect for those who appreciate a gourmand twist on traditional Middle Eastern ingredients.

The name "Tawakul" hints at trust and surrender, and the fragrance itself invites the wearer to embrace a rich, enveloping aura. From the first spray, it announces itself with a sweet-spicy kick before settling into a leathery, woody heart. It is a fragrance designed for winter nights and special occasions, where its moderate-to-heavy sillage and long-lasting performance can truly shine.

In a market flooded with vanilla-oud hybrids, Tawakul stands out by pairing amaretto—a nutty, liqueur-like note—with cardamom and a surprisingly smooth leather accord. The result is a scent that is both comforting and daring, earning it a strong 4.38 out of 5 on Fragrantica from early adopters.
